New multi-key-cache handling. This was needed becasue the old one didn't work reliable with MERGE tables.
ALTER TABLE table_name ... CHARACTER SET ... now changes all char/varchar/text columns to the given character set
(One must use ALTER TABLE ... DEFAULT CHARACTER SET ... to change the default character set)
Fixed that have_compress is detected properly (fixes problems with func_compress.test on platforms without zlib)
New syntax for CACHE INDEX ('keys' is optional if no index name is given and one mentions the key cache name only ones)
Removed compiler warnings
Added mysql_set_server_option() to allow clients like PHP to easaily set/reset the multi-statement flag.
- when we don't have in_addr_t, use uint32.
- a forgotten initialization of slave_proxy_id in sql/log_event.cc (was not really "forgot", was
"we needn't init it there", but there was one case where we needed...).
- made slave_proxy_id always meaningful in THD and Log_event, so we can
rely more on it (no need to test if it's meaningful). THD::slave_proxy_id
is equal to THD::thread_id except for the slave SQL thread.
- clean up the slave's temporary table (i.e. free their memory) when slave
server shuts down.
embedded library
I decided to get rid of #define mysql_some_function in mysql.h
It puzzles users and makes problems with dynamic libraries
Finally, there are only two functions left, that are covered with
the #define-s and it won't hurt performance at all
Prepared statements in embedded server
Several changes in library code with two goals:
to make mysql_prepare_stmt working in embedded server
to get rid of #define mysql_interface_func mysql->methods->interface_func
in user's interface
Add pack_bits to pack_reclength for dynamic rows. This solves buffer a possible buffer overflow on update.
(This will probably solve bug #563)
Fix test for available file descriptors in mysqltest
Fixed core dump bug in replication tests when running without transactional table support
--old-passwords
Support for option --old-protocol was removed.
Some test performed.
Tests for SSL and replication are pending.
More strict following to specification for --old-passwords
is in the TODO.
For now following tasks have been done:
- PASSWORD() function was rewritten. PASSWORD() now returns SHA1
hash_stage2; for new passwords user.password contains '*'hash_stage2; sql_yacc.yy also fixed;
- password.c: new functions were implemented, old rolled back to 4.0 state
- server code was rewritten to use new authorization algorithm (check_user(), change
user, and other stuff in sql/sql_parse.cc)
- client code was rewritten to use new authorization algorithm
(mysql_real_connect, myslq_authenticate in sql-common/client.c)
- now server barks on 45-byte-length 4.1.0 passwords and refuses 4.1.0-style
authentification. Users with 4.1.0 passwords are blocked (sql/sql_acl.cc)
- mysqladmin.c was fixed to work correctly with new passwords
Tests for 4.0-4.1.1, 4.1.1-4.1.1 (with or without db/password) logons was performed;
mysqladmin also was tested. Additional check are nevertheless necessary.
